Useful info.....
Those ROI stats for the SA downhill track display what I have thought for years. Strange to see the results for post 10, though.
Being drawn in a high post position (especially double digits) is actually an advantage - provided the horse has reasonably good early speed to take it on, or near, the lead. The reason for this is that, due to the unusual configuration of the downhill course, the outside actually becomes the inside during the race.
That being said, it is not easy to go wire to wire on this course.
Stalkers tend to do the best when they can run down the leader after turning for home.
Horses for courses angle is very strong, too. False favorites are often those types that have done well recently running 6F at Hollywood.
The Hollywood turf sprint track, and the downhill at SA, are like night and day.
Good luck!
